Default E Brake

I have my rear wheel off and am looking through the extra hole in the disk. I have looked through it from all points of the clock and just can't seem to find the parking brake adjustment screw. Does anyone have a photo of it, so I can know exactly what I'm looking for? Maybe it's so dirty in there that it's covered up. I don't know.

thx for the time.

The adjuster wheel is at the top of the drum. It is not a screw as such. It is a toothed wheel with the teeth facing out towards the hole. Simply insert the screwdriver blade onto one of teeth and move it up or down, repeating as needed.

The only thing I'm seeing at the top of the rotation through the hole, is the spring

It looks like a Spur on the back of an old Cowboys boot.

If all else fails remove the 2 caliper bolts and then slide the rotor off so you can see what it looks like and where it is.

The spring goes over the top of the adjuster. It is a metal cylinder with the adjusting wheel towards one end.
